 Copco/Iron Gate Lakes
Copco and Iron Gate Lakes offer fantastic Perch fishing. I get more calls about fishing Iron Gate for perch than anything else. It's crazy on how many people fish for perch and how far they drive.The perch fishing is fantastic right now. The neat thing about perch fishing is that a perch will bite anything once and that's all you need. I've caught perch with the gum in my mouth. Jigging a small Kastmaster works well. Drifting a worm on the bottom is your safest bet. Also, if you tie a small chunk of yarn above the hook and soak it in Krill, you don't have to mess with worms. If you want to fly fish for the perch, tie on a black or olive leach, soak it in Krill and hang on. Usually all you need is a night crawler and a bobber. Being in a boat is better fishing due to the weed line. The weeds get pretty thick around the bank but, you can find a few areas to fish from the bank.

Salmon season is over. The spawning beds are being invaded by a fresh run of steelhead. Pressure is light. Flyfishing has been excellent for half-pounders to 5 pounds. Water is currently at very fishable flow and clarity.

A number of guided boats and bank fishermen are catching a quantity of steelhead in the 10-22 inch size. The water is exceptionally good and clear.

As of today the silvers are still in the river and the hatchery is reporting that the coho has started to arrive. Steelhead fishing here has been excellent for the 18-22 inch fish. The water is clear after the first winter storm.
